Kaepernick, as everyone knows by now, took a stance by kneeling during the National Anthem during last season, and since he’s become a free agent and stayed a free agent, some high-profile people have come to his defense.

You can now number Jay-Z, Beyoncé’s husband, among those supporters.

Jay-Z kicked off the first of three days of the Meadows Music and Arts Festival at Citi Field in Queens, by performing a 90-minute set that included his well-known songs as well as political moments.

“I want to dedicate this song to Colin Kaepernick tonight,” Jay-Z said of “The Story of O.J.,” a song about blackness and managing money that also references O.J. Simpson.

“I want to dedicate this to Dick Gregory. I want to dedicate this song to anyone that was held back, and you overcame,” he added about the song from his personal and revealing album, “4:44.”
